Are you an EXCEPTIONAL Leader?

We all have that one leader who has left a mark on us even years after our last interaction. How many will say that about you?

To be a normal leader is simple. Do what everyone is doing. To be an EXCEPTIONAL leader is not.

There is a misconception that people are born leaders. They are not. There is no one that is “born” a leader. The exceptional leaders in our lives are no different than you or me. They just do things differently. They behave differently. Not just in one or two things, but in EVERYTHING. They build habits that are so innate to them they are an extension of their personality.

How do we build those behaviors and habits?

STEP BY STEP. FEROCIOUSLY!

Process

1. Personality Assessment and Understanding:

  • Administering and interpreting results from personality assessments like DISC or Myers-Briggs.

  • Explaining the different personality types and their common traits, strengths, and potential challenges.

  • Helping the client understand their own personality type and how it influences their leadership style and interactions with others.

2. 360° Leadership Feedback:

  • Utilizing a 360° feedback survey to gather anonymous feedback from the client's network of colleagues, including their supervisor, peers, and direct reports.

  • Analyzing the feedback data to identify patterns and themes in how the client is perceived by others.

  • Providing the client with a confidential report summarizing the feedback and highlighting areas of strength and areas for development.

3. Defining Leadership Success:

  • Engaging in in-depth discussions with the client to explore their personal and professional values, aspirations, and goals.

  • Helping the client articulate their vision for leadership success and define what outcomes they want to achieve in their leadership role.

  • Collaboratively creating a set of measurable goals and objectives that align with the client's vision and values.

4. Goal Setting and Action Planning:

  • Translating the insights from the personality assessment, 360° feedback, and leadership vision into concrete action steps.

  • Developing a personalized action plan that outlines specific goals, strategies, and timelines for the client to achieve their desired leadership outcomes.

  • Providing ongoing support and accountability to help the client stay on track and make progress towards their goals.
